Members of the Knesset Land of Israel Caucus toured the Binyamin Region last Thursday. Their mission was a fact-finding tour to survey recent government action to remedy years of damage to the environment by local Arabs.
MK Simcha Rothman said after the tour: “All of us had an opportunity to see the void of governance in real-time today. Illegal garbage dumps and illegal incinerators are polluting the environment we all share. Enforcement of environmental protection laws in Judea and Samaria is non-existent, and the fact is that what lies behind these ‘random incidents’ is a systematic, well-planned Palestinian Authority program to annex more and more of the territory of Judea and Samaria, to squash the Jewish communities and make life unlivable for Jews in this region, and to harm our ability to provide equal services and rights to all citizens.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is committed to improving law enforcement and moving forward with building new Jewish communities. Let’s not forget that Sovereignty is the only way to fully stop illegal Arab land grabs. When Sovereignty is applied throughout Judea and Samaria, building up the land advances the region.
